Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) to Improve Reading Comprehension: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS), the product of collaborative work of researchers in Education, Psychology and Artificial Intelligence, are effective learning systems produced for individualized and adaptive learning. ITS differ from traditional computer-assisted learning with one main feature: The system can change itself according to data it gets from students and teachers. These systems have been frequently used in the development of reading comprehension and their effects have been proven. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to review and critically evaluate the studies on the development of reading comprehension skill with Intelligent Tutoring Systems. the method of this study is systematic review and Experimental studies conducted in primary and secondary education with mother tongue related to reading comprehension and ITS are included to review. Conclusions indicate that Intelligent Tutoring Systems are more effective than the traditional teaching methods in developing reading comprehension skills, a variety of software used as ITS but Intelligent Tutoring System for the Text Structure Strategy is the most common one in studies, and the results are differed in favor of low-reading level students.
